Overview
For this unit, you will write a paper analyzing “This is America” by childish gambino music video. In your paper, briefly summarize or describe the music video, identifying its message, and then analyze its rhetorical situation. (Rhetorical situation: “The context in which writing or other communication takes place, including purpose, audience, genre, stance, and media/design,” p. G/I-45). Discuss the specific strategies (for instance, lyrics, technology, details, etc.) that are used to convey the artist’s message and comment on the social, political, and/or cultural context of the video. Your paper should contain a clear and interesting thesis supported by specific, concrete details; provide sufficient description of and insightful comments about the video being analyzed; and integrate text and visuals effectively.
Two chapters will help you directly with this assignment: Chapter 11 Analyzing Texts and Chapter 3 Summarizing and Responding. Each explores aspects of how to analyze concepts and offers sample writings as well as visuals of the parts of an analysis paper. In addition, Chapter 61 Textual Analyses provides several examples of textual analysis essays.

Outside research is not required for this assignment, but you should document any material from other sources in an in-text citation and on your Works Cited page (see Chapter 53 MLA Style). Use 43. Online video (p. 602) to create a Works Cited entry for the video.

This week you will design and submit a presentation based on your Communication Code of Conduct assignment from Week 6. Your client was so pleased with your report and recommendations that they have asked you to present your ideas to the executive board’s next meeting.
To meet the needs of the client, your presentation should consist of 8–10 visually appealing slides, accompanied by an audio recording of approximately 8 minutes in total.
The basic slide structure should be as follows.
Title slide: Title of presentation, student name, name of the class, and the date
Overview slide: Contents slide, previewing the main points to be covered
Body slides: Cover the main points of the code of conduct, including real-world examples to illustrate your ideas for the client
Reference slide: Cite references in APA format
In creating your presentation, keep the following in mind.
A presentation is meant to be a high-level overview. It is not intended to be as detailed as the formal report or proposal. That’s why it can be kept relatively short.
Reports and proposals are primarily text-based documents, but presentations are highly visual. Make your slides visually engaging by providing charts, graphs, and illustrations.
Be frugal with text. For each slide, try to limit the number of bullets to about four and the number of words in each bullet phrase to 10 or fewer. Use phrases with strong verbs rather than whole sentences.
